Part of the Special Issue Advanced Internet of Things in a Personalized Healthcare System: Validation, Analysis and UtilizationSurface electromyography signal plays an important role in hand function recovery training. In this paper, an IoT-enabled stroke rehabilitation system was introduced which was based on a smart wearable armband (SWA), machine learning (ML) algorithms, and a 3-D printed dexterous robot hand. User comfort is one of the key issues which should be addressed for wearable devices.
